CHICAGO, Nov. 13.-Red was the color and
revenge the sentiment that pervaded to-day's
| great demonstration In connection with the
funeral OF the dead Anarchists. The red was
| worn quietly and unostentatiously, beina
chiefly In the form OF rosettes and badges.
They were worn by many thousands OF mon
| and women, who chose this means of testify.
ing their sympathy for the five men WHOSE
lives were forfeited to the State by Fridays
Quadruple execution and by Lingg's dynamite
suicide.
| Equally true It Is that revenge was tho senti-
ment OF the great body OF people which
| marched In the funeral procession, and fol-
lowed the five collins to the vault in Waldheim
Cemetery.
1t was not spoken loudly nor frequently.
! this sentiment OF revenge. but 1t was In the
faces OF those who escorted the dead Anar-
chists through the streets and 1t was in tho
! hearts OF great majority Of those who Lis
tened to the speeches at the cemetery.
Repression was the order Of tho day. Forca
| had been tried. and 1t had failed. No time for
talk or acts OF violence now. A more fitting
time is to come, just when. no man can toll.
nor can any predict In what form II
| will come but that It will come, or
| ut least that it is looked forward to.
was plainly evident to-day by the shouts Of
approval which burst forth when the two Cor
man speakers at the cemetery this afternoon
Missed out their contemptuous reputation Of
the theory that human wrongs can be righted
BIZ the ballot. "Bravo!" Hurrahp' That's
the way to talkp and kindred calculations
were uttered by thousands Of tongues as the
orators sounded the keynote OF revenge.
What this will lead to. or what the next stop
will be, not even the Anarchistic leaders them
selves could tell If they wished; but that the
spirit OF retaliation was latent In to-day's
demonstration, let no man doubt.
Probably 5000 men and women, in nearly
equal numbers. marched behind the i've
hearses through the streets Of Chicago to-day
From $4,000 to $4,000 gathered at tho ceme-
terry. and nearly half million people watched
the long and bannerless procession as It
wound its way along to the music Of funeral
dirges.
Not all who went to the cemetery were An
archists. for perhaps fully half the crowd went
there out Of curiosity alone. But Of those who
marched In line and wore red badges It would
be hard to find one man or woman who does
not hate the law and the established order of
government with hatrled far nercer and
deeper than that they felt before the execution
last Friday.
That they feared the law was very evident
but II their quiet demeanor to-day looked like
respect for the law 1t was respect paid under
protest. and with mental reservation Of hate
and defiance.
The public committee that applied for .
permit for the street procession were re-
CURED to sign an agreement to conduct the
parade In accordance with these instructions

JOHN A. ROCHE, Mayor.
It was expected that the State officials would
call upon the police for assistance In presery.
Inc order at tho cemetery, which Is outside the
city limits: but nothing OF tho kind was done,
and, in consequence. not an officer Of the law,
either Of the State. county. or city. was present
this afternoon at Waldheim, where $4,000
people were gathered. Fortunately. 1t WAS a
peaceably disposed and orderly gathering, or
else different story would have to be told Of
the conclusion OF the days events.
MRS. FIscHER's HOUSE OF MOURNING.
Great crowds gathered around the houses OF
the dead men this morning. In the little cot.
tage at Dean street was plain black
coffin that contained the remains OF Adoph
Fischer. 1t was placed on q deal table In the
centre OF tho room. and the only Other furnl-
turo worth noticing was two wooden chairs
Mrs. FISCHER wept some, but in the main. bore
up well. Friends crowded about the coffin
during the early hours to take q last look II
their comrade In the Lehr and Wehr Verein
and to bring flowers to strew upon his grave.
Tho street was crowded by those who were
for the most part in sympathy with the ideas
of combining dynamite with politics. but theI
held thelr peace. Lieut.. johnson. in command
OF twenty-five policemen. patrolled the street
and tried to keep tho roadway clear. Some
members Of the defence" Committee were
stationed at the door to prevent others than
friends entering. Adozen carriages waited on
the street 10 carry tho members of the family
and their nearer friends In one OF these four
women sat tressed in deep black and holding
m immense floral crown. A silk ribbon at.
Lnched TO It bore the inscription In German:
Dedicated TO rhunpious OF liberty equality and
fraternity by the ouens Benevolent Society.
Soon after noon plain black hearse brought
up before the house, and the all-bearers. with
heads uncovered, bore the coffin to It. A band
played dirge, and he Southwestern Manner
,hor OF the International Union sang In Ger
nan. There were no other seryices. The
iearsc turned into Paulina street and drove
